About Jillian Mac Fine Art

2400 square feet of display space.  25 years of experience.  A rotating collection of dozens of different artworks that creates a curated mix of beauty, quality, and lasting value.

In this spacious new location, I am thrilled to present to you an array of quality original artworks by some of the finest artists I’ve had the honor to represent throughout my career, most notably:   

Living legend Françoise Gilot will celebrate her 101st birthday this fall. Her drawings, paintings and unique Monotypes featured here offer an unprecedented collecting opportunity. If you’ve read her book “Life with Picasso” or any of her subsequent writings, you only become more impressed with this artist’s depth, intelligence and talent. A definite “must buy now” for serious collectors.   

American master Dean Mitchell continues to shine a light on our deepest humanity with his sought-after portraits of everyday Americans and the landscapes and cities they inhabit. He has won hundreds of awards in his career and was short-listed to paint the official portrait of former President Barak Obama.  His masterful drawings, watercolors, oils, and acrylics bear a distinctive style and pack an emotional punch.

It is an honor to present drawings and paintings by Louisiana treasure Rolland Golden, whose work can be found in the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Historic New Orleans Collection, the Ogden Museum Southern Art, and in museums, corporate and private collections throughout the country. Golden’s elegance as a painter and his distinctive style of gentle surrealism distinguish him as a great southern American regionalist.

I’m thrilled to introduce the works of Géza Brunow and Rodrigo Franzão, two artists whose unconventional approaches to their mediums have the power to delight, inspire and move us deeply.  Geza’s intricate, colorful stream-of-consciousness paintings are endlessly fascinating, at once profound and playful.  Rodrigo’s mesmerizing abstract paper collages are striking in color and texture with the power to animate the space around them with their suggestion of shimmering light and movement. 

Acclaimed fashion photographer David Leslie Anthony’s work capturing the Sonoran Desert, Salton Sea, and his large-format botanicals are a wonderful balm during these stressful times when we all crave nature. His intimate, painterly approach to his subjects builds on his expertise capturing the most famous faces and figures in the fashion industry. Photography is a very affordable way to begin or add to your collection.   

I’m honored to represent multi-media artist Steve Martin, whose pop-art colors and strong shapes have captivated collectors in New Orleans and worldwide for decades. His gestural wire wall art and powder-coated metal sculptures elegantly distill the joy of movement with a touch of whimsy. Commissions are available.    

I hope you will take some time to browse these artists’ work and contact me if anything interests you – I am, as always, at your service.  

The pandemic with all its challenges has deepened our relationships to our home spaces and the artworks we choose to display around us. We need images of beauty and meaning now more than ever before. Supporting living artists not only enriches our own lives, but connects us to a community of like-minded people, without whom life would be far less vibrant.
